Siri works perfectly for me when I try to make a call, right up until I'm asked 'Home or Mobile?' I don't have a speech impediment and yet I can never get Siri to cotton on to the fact I am saying, "Home" (or even "Mobile"). I mean, it's a 50/50 proposition. If you don't know what I'm saying Siri, just take a (I said a bad word) stab at it.

All good suggestions. I'm looking forward to iCloud properly integrated with OS X. I expect that will be launched before the end of July (when they close iWork.com). I'd also like to be able to export iWork for iOS documents to other apps!

If you don't ask, there will be no answer!
Curiosity has immense benefits for all!

Ok, I want the new android feature, if you get a phone call and miss it, and the screen goes black before you notice (and they don't leave a message) the minute you pick up the phone the proximity sensor lights the phone up to show you the missed call, and naturally if there is no missed calls, the screen stays asleep.

I would like to see Widgets that can be placed on a customisable lock screen in the same way as Android has now. In some ways Apple has been playing catch up with Android in some features eg. notifications and the "pull down" notification list from home screen.

The iPhone wins hands down is usablitity but it would be nice to have the customisability that Android already enjoys.

Another nice feature in the software that the Samsung S3 is running is that if you have a contact open on screen and you raise the phone to your ear it will automatically dial that contact.
That's the sort of wow or cool factor that has simply been lacking in iOS recently there has been nothing really groundbreaking for a while. Ok Siri is kind of cool and a minor wow but from what I hear and see its just not that reliable.

Android Tweaks
As mentioned before, Samsung's overhauled ICS with some nifty new tricks. These include:

Smart Stay, which uses the forward-facing camera to determine if you're looking at the phone. You can set time intervals from as little as 15 seconds, which result in a small flashing eye logo in the Android notification bar. If it recognises that your eyes aren't focused on the phone anymore, the screen dims.

Direct Call, which will auto-dial a contact if you have their contact details or a message open. By moving the phone to your ear, the proximity sensor; accelerometer and gyroscope all kick into use, and automatically dial the contact's number.

Smart Alert, which will make the phone vibrate in your hand and flash an LED if you pick the phone up after a missed call.

S Voice, which is a Siri-like voice recognition feature, that you can use to enquire about the weather; take a photo ("Hi Galaxy, please take a photo" to open the camera app, or "cheese" to snap it), and other tasks such as locking the phone, or controlling music. Each demand can be configured by the user.

Social Tag, which links photos of friends in your photo gallery to their Facebook or Google+ accounts, using facial recognition.

AllShare Cast, which pairs to TVs, laptops or tablets over Wi-Fi, mirroring whatever's on the S III. You can also use the S III as a game controller.

PopUp Play, which will literally pop a video out of its player, rendering it in a small thumbnail so you can continue watching while surfing the web or doing other functions on the phone. The thumbnail is movable around the display, even if it's pretty small.

I believe that there are some very smart features here that Apple could learn from and may, in fact, prompt them to make some of their own. We need to get the WOW factor back in to iOS.

There are some cool features on Android that Apple could learn from, but some of them aren't practical and can confuse a user. Apple are after simplicity and ease of use.

The Pop up movie feature is really not practical. Why would you want to continue watching a video while you're browsing the web on such a small screen. You'll be constantly moving the video out of the way to read the website you're surfing. And really you can only concentrate on one thing at a time.
